Windsurfing Equipment

When booking your board through Sportif I recommend the below boards or a suitable alternative. The centre now has lots of Foil gear too. Bringing Some Extra Fins for change up or down is strongly recommended!E.g. a 30cm fin to change down from a 36/38cm on the Magic Ride 99/109.

The Sailing

Wind 5 DAYS OUT OF 7 AVERAGE OVER 20 YEARS, ALOT OF WEEKS AT 100% WIND! Choose from cross-off from the right with the very reliable Meltemi getting a local boost to give us flat water and chop, or, a short sail upwind, there is also a cross onshore beach giving us small waves to practice on or get into bump and jump/wavesailing. This place almost seems designed to help you improve whilst giving you an awesome range of conditions.

The Travel

Wednesday flights from Europe are most common and last 3-4 hours. This is followed by a coach / taxi transfer lasting just over an hour. If it’s like last year we can get a sail either on the final morning or first afternoon giving us that magic 7 days possible water time! My international clients should book their flights to coinicide with the clinic dates and you can get these from most countries including Austria, Germany, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and many others

Other Activities

Should your aching limbs need any other action then there is Volleyball and some fantastic walks, or take a drive round the island. Bookings can be made locally for any other excursions should you require and the centre now has some SUPs for hire.
